Chapter 143 Do You Have the Final Say?
Seeing that Qiao Dongliang didn't seem to react to what she said, Qiao Zijin glanced at Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi hinted for Qiao Zijin to continue. Qiao Zijin continued: "Nannan is young and can't stay up late. It's normal for her to rest more. In fact, I don't think it's a big deal. My dad was injured, and I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep. It was just right for me to stay here. Dad, Nannan actually cares about you too. When you had the operation, part of the blood was donated by Nannan and me."
"Okay, your dad just woke up and isn't in good spirits yet, so don't keep chatting with him. When he gets better, are you afraid you won't have another chance to chat?" Ding Jiayi interrupted with a smile, "Lao Qiao, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"..." Qiao Dongliang moved, as if he sighed, and then closed his eyes very decisively, not looking at Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin again.
Qiao Zijin walked to Ding Jiayi's side and said, "Mom, what's my dad doing?" What does this attitude mean?
"Hey, don't disturb your dad's rest. If you have anything to say, let's go out." After putting the quilt on Qiao Dongliang to prevent him from catching a cold, Ding Jiayi pulled Qiao Zijin out of the room: "Don't think too much. Your dad was injured so badly and had two operations. He is very weak. What could he mean? He can't explain it. Just rest assured. After this incident, your dad will definitely know who is truly filial to him, you or Qiao Nan."
"That's true." Qiao Zijin smiled, "But, Mom, Qiao Nan borrowed such a large sum of money. Although you are responsible for repaying the loan, in Qiao Nan's case, can she pay it back? If this matter gets out of hand, Dad will know that the money for his surgery was all borrowed by Qiao Nan, right?"
"I've already thought about this. Even if someone comes to collect the debt, we just say that Qiao Nan spent so much money on other things, and it has nothing to do with your father. I don't believe that Qiao Nan went to borrow money under the banner of your father. Okay, I will take care of this matter. Now that your father has finally woken up, you should take good care of him during these few days. After all, your father is still the one who calls the shots in this family."
After paying for one year's tuition for Qiao Zijin, and borrowing the tuition for the second half of the semester from her comrade Qiao Dongliang, Ding Jiayi realized how difficult and tiring it was to raise a child who was studying.
If only one of their children was studying, it would be much easier for them.
"Qiao Nan really wants to study, I'm worried if she's willing to do so?"
"Why would you refuse? You're not going to study anymore after finishing senior year of high school, so what's the point for her to study? If your dad says anything else then, I'll just be straightforward and treat you equally." Doesn't Old Qiao always talk about fairness? Zijin isn't going to study anymore, so why waste the money on Qiao Nan?
"Yes," Qiao Zijin nodded.
Qiao Nan's grades were really good. She stopped studying after graduating from high school. If Qiao Nan had gone to high school with good grades, it would have been fine. How would she, as her elder sister, have any face in the future? Everyone would only think that Qiao Nan was a smart kid. Who would still remember her, Qiao Zijin?
It's the best thing that she and Qiao Nan don't have to study together.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Ding Jiayi stopped talking, and Qiao Zijin felt something was strange.
"I was wondering, I don't know who Qiao Nan borrowed such a large sum of money from. Do you know how much Qiao Nan has left now? I can't let her spend your father's life-saving money indiscriminately. She is just a child, it's not good for her to have so much money in her hand, and she doesn't know how to use it." Old Qiao is in this state, and it will be impossible for her to go back to work for at least a few months.
Everything we eat, drink and use at home is free.
The most important thing is that Lao Qiao was injured, and she must find a way to nourish Lao Qiao and restore his health.
With her salary, she couldn't even support her daughter Zijin, let alone the expenses of a family of four.
If Qiao Nan still had money in his hands and she could take it, that would not be certain.
Anyway, this is money that is spent by their family of four, and Qiao Nan has also eaten, used and drank it, so it’s no big deal for her to take the money.
Qiao Zijin's eyes flickered. "That's true, but I still say that, Mom. Qiao Nan is very shrewd now. I tried to take the money from Qiao Nan so many times before, but never succeeded. This time, I feel that Qiao Nan must be even angrier than before. You had to pay for Dad's surgery, which was such a big thing, but she didn't give you the money to pay, and she paid it by herself. So, Qiao Nan definitely didn't want to give the money to you for safekeeping."
"That damn girl!" Ding Jiayi got angry when she mentioned this: "If it weren't for your dad's colleague protecting her, I would have dealt with her long ago. Our family is in such a bad situation, and she is still boasting. We have to pay back those people, but we don't have the money. No, I have to take the money from her to prevent her from squandering it. You stay here and look after your dad, I'm going to go home."
How come she forgot to search Qiao Nan's body just now?
If Qiao Nan carried money with her, she would search it and Qiao Nan would not be able to hide it even if she wanted to.
"Don't worry, mom. I won't fall asleep again this time." After a night's sleep, Qiao Zijin was in good spirits and was sure that the accident like yesterday would not happen again.
The "Principal" was relieved to hand Qiao Dongliang over to Qiao Zijin. Ding Jiayi really rushed back to the Qiao family immediately to find trouble with Qiao Nan.
However, Ding Jiayi grabbed the door handle and found that Qiao Nan's door could not be opened: "You stupid girl, did you lock the door? Open it for me!"
Qiao Nan, who had just slept for two hours before being woken up, frowned, but did not open the door for Ding Jiayi: "Mom, what's the matter?"
"What could possibly happen..." Ding Jiayi was about to rant when she remembered that the money was still in Qiao Nan's hand, so she lowered her voice again: "Your dad is already in such a state, and there are too many places to spend money at home. It's inconvenient for you to have too much money on you, and you don't know how to spend it. Qiao Nan, listen to mom, give mom the money, and mom will buy something for your dad to make up for it."
"Mom, to tell you the truth, I used all the money I borrowed to pay for Dad's medical expenses, and also to repay his comrades in arms."
"What? You, regardless of the situation in our family, you just returned the money? Do you want to see your father die?" Ding Jiayi was so angry that she vomited blood. In total, she had borrowed about four or five hundred yuan.
"I want to see my dad die, and I still go to borrow money? Mom, even you can't borrow money! Mom, don't even think about taking advantage of me again. You should think carefully about asking my dad's comrades to borrow money. When my dad's injury heals, how are you going to explain it to my dad?" Qiao Nan sneered. It seemed that she did the right thing by locking the door after returning home, not out of vain.
